But amid the mindless minutiae of his workplace, Dyson is fast losing patience with his crass colleagues and their contemptible clothes. Something’s got to give, and it’s not going to be Dyson. Because unbeknown to those around him, beneath Dyson’s charming, Italian-delicacy-consuming veneer lurks something sinister. As his personal and professional lives threaten to spiral out of control, how long can Dyson keep his true nature under wraps?

Golgotha
2019
You can’t keep a good sociopath down. Dyson Devereux is languishing in prison awaiting trial for murder. Languishing wouldn’t be so bad were it not for the irksome inmates, crowded conditions and distinct lack of haute cuisine. Only Alegra, his sometime paramour and frequent visitor, shares his desire to see him released. The problem is, she wants Dyson freed so they can start a new life together. But all Dyson desires is to get back home to his treasured mementos. As judgement day draws ever closer, can Dyson keep up appearances long enough to win his freedom? And at what cost? For hell hath no fury like a sociopath scorned. Golgotha is a funny, fast-paced crime comedy novel, boasting a sardonic and sinister sociopath at its helm. “Deeply dark and irresistibly funny. If you like dark humour, you’ll love watching Dyson unravel” — Sandra Seymour, Author “Sociopathic comedy at its best” — Adam Riley, Comedian “A potent blend of black comedy and crime” — Reviewer If you like dark humour and crime you'll love Golgotha. “A potent blend of black comedy and crime” — Reviewer Ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a sociopath? Meet Dyson Devereux, Britain’s answer to Patrick Bateman. As well as being a very British satire, this darkly humorous crime novel will appeal to fans of psychological and serial killer fiction. 'A devilishly wry read' - Goodreads Reviewer 'Tauted as the British Psycho as in the alternative to Mr. Bateman and the comparison works. Very similar moral deprivation as the action driver. Glib, twisted, darkly humorous.' - Goodreads Reviewer
